Cocke County

Cocke County Schools is an active, traditional public school district headquartered at 305 Hedrick Drive in Newport, Tennessee (37821). Set within a distant rural geographic environment in the greater Newport area, the district serves as the primary educational framework for the local community, operating 12 open academic facilities. The system offers a complete educational continuum spanning from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, welcoming early childhood learners as well as high school seniors preparing for post-secondary pathways. For the 2024–2025 academic period, the district maintains a total student body of 4,202 enrolled children, comprising 2,021 female students and 2,181 male students.

As a standard public, non-charter school system, Cocke County Schools provides localized educational governance independent of supervisory unions. While federal statistical reporting currently reflects zeroed or unrecorded figures for full-time equivalent (FTE) teaching, administrative, and support staff for this cycle, the system continues to serve its student population through structured primary and secondary programs across its dozen campuses. Parents, prospective families, and researchers interested in learning more about school offerings, local policies, or district initiatives can contact the main office at (423) 623-7821 or access community resources directly via the district’s official site at cockecountyschools.org.
